Master Jules Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 As simple as it sounds......jumping jacks......work your way up to being able to do 1000 in 15 minutes......youll be amazed at the cardio workout you get......doesnt take hardly any space at all.....but boy o boy.....you will be dripping with sweat......along with the cardio aspect of it, youll be working your shoulders, hips, glutes, calves.......lots more going on in a jumping jack than most folks realize...... ~Master Jules......aka "The Sandman""I may be a trained killer......but Im really a nice guy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saint Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I like swiming and X-country skiing, both are great and not hard on the joints. "Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to go to his class." Choi, Hong Hi ITF Founder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_UKWC Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I'd so lose count before 1000 lol I live at the top of a hill so I think I'm going to start running up and down that, I reckon it's about 1.5 miles round trip - far enough to make a difference? At the moment I am by far the least fit person in our class in terms of cardio. Actually no, that other guy had to go out side to avoid puking during the warmup yesterday. At the moment I am by far the second least fit person in our class...lol "...or maybe you are carrying a large vicious dog in your pocket." -Scottnshelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battousai16 Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 i'd make two trips. it's kind of hard to explain in text, but when running up hill, you're going to want to almost be marching up it... only marching fast. "paw" at the ground, y'know? you'll work a different set of leg muscles than you will when you're going down. you might want to run with a runner in the beginning, because proper form is important.

Hudson Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Yeah, hills are kind of tricky. But 1.5 miles isn't an awfully long distance, but its plenty to work up good stamina. Remember that distance isn't your only measurement - get a stopwatch, and run faster each day. If you can improve by a tenth of a second every day, for one year, that's quite an improvement. Not to mention your heart will be working better, your cardiovascular system cleaner and more efficient - cardio is the best thing in the world for you. The game of chess is much like a swordfight; you must think before you move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
